Two days of bird focused stitching and making

November 2nd & 3rd 2024

Saturday & Sunday 10am- 4pm

Neilson Park Creative Centre, Etobicoke, Toronto.

This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn how to make you own unique soft sculpture and or two-dimensional bird(s). We’ll cover how to gather inspiration and develop your ideas. Learn and explore different approaches and techniques, with a focus on using the sewing machine to embellish and embroider. Make unique pieces with my guidance and expertise from my many bird making adventures. 

You will need to bring a sewing machine in working order. I will provide a list of suggested notions etc to bring along. If you are unsure if your machine is suitable, please email me for advice and to discuss this further.

Basic sewing skills and some experience with your machine recommended, beginners welcome.

This is a small group workshop suitable for all levels.

Basic Materials included. 

Book before August 1st for a bonus colourful Early Bird Material Kit.

If you have never used your sewing machine as a drawing tool,(stitching freely using free motion embroidery) taking my one day Stitch Drawing Workshop or an Individual Stitch Workshop prior to this would be helpful but not essential. Please email to clarify if you are unsure. 

Cancellation Policy; A refund can be provided if requested before September 16th. After this date, class fees are non refundable. Student places are transferable. 

If the workshop is cancelled for whatever reason by the instructor, a refund will be provided. This would be communicated via email before September 20th
